AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Starts Selling at 30% Mark-up
The unexpected parting-shot of Socket AM4 and "Zen 3" at Intel's new "Alder Lake" architecture, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, started selling. There is, however, a rude catch. On popular US retailer Newegg, the processor is going for as high as USD $589, or $140 higher than the $449 MSRP, a 30 percent mark-up. This would also put its price a vulgar $230 higher (64 percent higher) than the Ryzen 7 5800X, a price difference that can get you a reasonably good motherboard based on the AMD X570 chipset, or perhaps even a combination of a well-priced AMD B550 chipset motherboard and 16 GB of DDR4-3600 memory. It is important to note, however, though, that the Newegg listing is fulfilled by one of its marketplace vendors, and not Newegg directly. The site isn't selling the 5800X3D through its own fulfillment inventory.
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D thoroughly impressed us and several other tech reviewers. AMD stands good on its claim that the 5800X3D is faster than the Core i9-12900K at gaming, and it does end up trading blows with the i9-12900KS (an $800 chip) in several titles. The $589 marked-up price, however, erodes much of that goodwill, and for that kind of money, you're better off just getting a Core i9-12900 (non-K), and unshackling its power limits in the motherboard BIOS. The i9-12900 will trade blows with the 5800X3D at gaming, but will thoroughly outclass it at productivity. Both the i9-12900 and the 5800X3D are "locked."

This is indeed fake news in the classical sense. That was a 3rd party seller, and that title is helluva misleading one.
In Europe
Mindfactory 519€ out of stock after less than 6 hours
Caseking 490€ - out of stock
Proshop 500€ - out of stock, shipment expected on 10th May
Etech 519€ - out of stock
Computer Universe - not even listed
Amazon.de 586€
Wherever it's availlable you're paying almost a 30% premium for it.
I don’t know about where you are but in the US it’s MSRP. Even on Newegg it’s MSRP other than 3rd party sellers. Stock has been in and out all day
I slammed it in place of my 5600x and I'm glad to see it works well at 1900 fclk with my DDR4 at 14 16 16 timings.
I'm set for a while.
It's easy fill in a region so we might know at a glance why you're bitching :laugh:
I'd really love to know how many chips Europe got
Average selling price from various online retailers (India), these are not scalping prices! AVG price is $582 most of them have single digit in stock some only 1unit available.
I also will also keep bitching that the Ryzen 5 5600 has not been launch here and that no online retailer has stock for them. despite all other new released AMD CPUs being availble
the most budget friendly CPU is missing in the India market place.
I may have misread the context of what you meant by "god forsaken country."
I apologize for the mix-up it was most likely a misunderstanding on my part. :toast:

You may eventually see this CPU show up in your area, but by then it might be too late to be beneficial for most people with newer CPUs coming out for Intel and AMD.
